Learn More About Flintlock Muskets

One of the highlights to be seen at Colonial Williamsburg is a world-renowned progression of Britain’s famed “Brown Bess” muskets, which forms the backbone of Lock, Stock and Barrel. Supporting this unique collection are those related arms carried by officers, cavalrymen, sailors, Native Americans, and the semi-military firearms carried by American militiamen. Also represented are the Dutch, French and American-made arms used extensively during the Revolutionary War. Capping off the exhibit is a selection of very fine flintlock guns once owned by Lord Dunmore, Virginia’s last Royal Governor, followed by a hint of what the fledgling United States armed itself with after the war was won.
